Mammoth Cave Beanie

**Pattern #48 in the original U.S. National Park inspired line of beanies** by Nancy Bates Beneath nearly 53,000 acres of woods, river valleys, and rolling hills in Kentucky lies the longest known cave system in the world. With massive individual caverns and over 400 miles of passageways mapped so far, this park has definitely earned its name. Visitors of all ages can walk next to an underground river, gaze upon beautiful cave formations, wonder at archaeological finds, scramble up and down hills, and even experience total darkness. Using only 2 colors, this design begins with an easy to knit pattern representing the dozens of stairways found in the park. A simple band of stockinette stitch leads into randomly placed bobbles reminiscent of the gypsum formations found on the ceiling of the famous Snowball Room.
